I was pretty much in the kitchen the entire day yesterday. :)\u00a0 And also doing stuff around the house trying to get caught up on life!\u00a0 Being sick last week really put me behind in terms of getting stuff done.\u00a0 Umph!\u00a0 By the time I crashed last night, I was so tired that writing a post was too much work.\u00a0 You all can dig it, I know, which is why I adore you!\u00a0 I would never be able to handle the pressure to post, that would make me cranky.<\/p>\n

Sunday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I got up around 7am and headed out for a run.\u00a0 OMG being able to run after a week of not running was more glorious than I can even tell you.\u00a0 It was slow because my bod was tired from MT<\/abbr> and pulling weeds on Saturday (most especially my hams) and I didn’t go very far, 3.5 miles, but I was running so I was very happy.\u00a0 Plus it was foggy!\u00a0 Next to running in snow, running in\/through fog is one of my very favorite things.<\/p>\n

I had a glass of CS<\/abbr> and hit the shower right away.\u00a0 Then I had a short coffee and breakfast session on the couch with some FoodTV.<\/p>\n

\"Coffee,<\/p>\n

Stoneyfield yogurt with chocolate granola.\u00a0 We were out of homemade granola so chocolate had to do.\u00a0 I will tell you right now that my tastes are changing.\u00a0 I’m not big on sweets or sweet things, you guys know that much.\u00a0 I used to be able to handle chocolate granola no problem but this time, it wasn’t working for me.\u00a0 I don’t know if it was because of the combo of French Vanilla yogurt and the chocolate but for whatever reason it was too much with the sweet.\u00a0 I couldn’t finish it.\u00a0 EW.\u00a0 I’m also starting to become a granola snob.\u00a0 I like my granola and that’s about it.<\/p>\n

While trying not to be grossed out watching Paula Deen and her family eat a Turducken (vomit), I was HUNGRY since the yogurt didn’t work.\u00a0 I munched on a large Jonagold apple.\u00a0 No pic because we all know what apples look like.\u00a0 I also got some cranberry sauce started and on it’s way to being happy.<\/p>\n

My loves got up and I quickly made some Sunday breakfast.\u00a0 I was craving sausage like mad (I can hear you laughing, you know!) but we had no chicken sausage at all.\u00a0 I found some pork sausage in the freezer that I had previously made into patties and cooked, then froze.\u00a0 Those were gonna have to do!<\/p>\n

\"Waffles,<\/p>\n

We had some basic waffles with the sausage, and fruit in the middle.\u00a0 Pineapple, orange, and some of my leftover apple.\u00a0 The drink on the side was a combo of apple cider and OJ.<\/p>\n

After breakfast, we cleaned up the kitchen and took Rockmonster for his walk.\u00a0 It was so nice outside yesterday that everyone was out doing stuff.\u00a0 Most were putting up their xmas lights and it made me want to get my decorations out and get going already.\u00a0 Holiday songs have been playing nonstop at our house for a while, now it’s time to bring it for real!<\/p>\n

When we got back home, it was time for me to get busy and get working in the kitchen.\u00a0 I prepped and made a lot of things, like granola, which caused the heavens to sing.\u00a0 I also did laundry which made the heavens do nothing because laundry isn’t exciting.<\/p>\n

Scott finally put up our new curtains for the living room and they look so much better!\u00a0 They also block out light and air more which is perfect because that room tends to be really cold in the winter.<\/p>\n

Once I was a bit more caught up on house and life things, it was time for dinner.\u00a0 Oooo what a fabbo Sunday Supper we had!<\/p>\n

\"Crabcake<\/a><\/p>\n

Crab cakes with panko crumbs, no mayo, and tons of flavor.\u00a0 Take that Maryland!<\/p>\n

\"Coleslaw<\/a><\/p>\n

Coleslaw with lots o’ dill and also no mayo.\u00a0 Take that the entire Southern U.S.!<\/p>\n

\"Crabcakes,<\/p>\n

And also some creamy spicy polenta with just a touch of butter but no milk.\u00a0 Take that, uh, someone!<\/p>\n

I totally rocked dinner last night for shiz.<\/p>\n

At this point I crashed on the couch in my jams and watched old movies with Scott.\u00a0 We finished one from 1932 called White Zombie and then we watched a French film from the 50s’ called Diabolique which was weird but not really as creepy as touted.<\/p>\n

\"Wine\"Chocolate<\/p>\n

I had a glass of white and some cookahs!\u00a0 After the movies I promptly crashed in bed hardcore.<\/p>\n

Monday:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today is the start of Thanksgiving vacation for me!\u00a0 Wooo!\u00a0 Although I have a ton of stuff to get done making it not a leisurely vacation but I’m not working, so hello vacation!\u00a0 I’ll take it!<\/p>\n

\"Coffee,<\/p>\n

I started off the day with a yogurt mess.\u00a0 I did a little happy dance at the chance to eat some of my granola because I am that kind of dork.<\/p>\n

More Stoneyfield, huge red delicious, and granola.\u00a0 I ate that entire bowl too!\u00a0 And since it was vacation AND a Monday, two cups of coffee were in order.<\/p>\n

I did some blog related work, started laundry (never ending, lordy!), and then took my mushface out for a walk.\u00a0 When we got back it was just starting to sprinkle, thankfully we were home by then!<\/p>\n

I made a light and quick lunch for myself since I wasn’t too terribly hungry by this point but knew I needed to eat something.<\/p>\n

\"Carrots,<\/a><\/p>\n

A plate of carrots, leftover salmon, and crackers.<\/p>\n

\"Coleslaw<\/a><\/p>\n

Some coleslaw.<\/p>\n

\"Smoothie<\/a><\/p>\n

Smoothie:<\/p>\n
